Introduction. Struma ovarii représente une tumeur rare, seulement 1% des tumeurs de l'ovaire, avec une incidence de 0,3 à 0,7%. Le diagnostic positif est obtenu par examen microscopique; parfois, des taux sériques élevés d'hormones thyroïdiennes, de CA 125 et d'échographies peuvent suggérer un diagnostic préopératoire. Rapport du cas. Nous rapportons le cas d'une femme de 56 ans avec une struma ovarii unilatérale et aucune preuve clinique ou paraclinique du diagnostic à venir. L'échographie transvaginale a révélé un utérus poly-fibromateux et des annexes apparemment ABSTRACT Introduction.

The positive diagnosis is obtained by microscopic examination; sometimes elevated serum levels of thyroid hormone, CA 125 and ultrasound aspects can suggest the preoperative diagnosis. Case presentation. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with unilateral struma ovarii and no clinical or paraclinical evidence of the diagnosis to come. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed polyfibromatous uterus and apparently normal adnexa. Partial hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (considering the patients age) through laparotomy was performed under spinal anaesthesia. The histopathological result showed an endometrial polyp, multiple CASE REPORT
